Minecraft is sandwiched between The Avengers and Justice League on 2019’s cinema release schedule…

Warner Bros has finally earmarked a release date for its planned Minecraft movie, and the film is about three years away.

May 24th 2019 is when the feature take on the 100,000,000-copy selling videogame is due. The film will arrive in 3D and IMAX too, and it’s being directed by Rob McElhenney (It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia).

The film is likely to mix live action and animation, although it’s not been officially confirmed which direction it’s going to take. We do know that it’s going to be arriving in cinemas three weeks after the second Avengers: Infinity War film, and three weeks before the second Justice League film. Mind you, if anything can take those two titans in, it might just be Minecraft…
